Brazilian GP: Free Practice 2 - Re-Cap & Times

BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX - FREE PRACTICE #2

    Both Mercedes drivers topped the second practice session of the weekend, with both Williams drivers not far behind. Hamilton finished in 1st with a 1:12.271. Rosberg finished in 2nd with a 1:12.301. Bottas, Massa and Ricciardo completed the top 5.

    Esteban Gutierrez and Kevin Magnussen returned to their cars after they sat out FP1 for GP3 Championship leader, Charles Leclerc and GP2 driver, Sergey Sirotkin. Gutierrez finished the session in 20th with a 1:14.558 and Magnussen finished in 16th with a 1:14.109.

    Fernando Alonso missed most of the session due to an ERS issue. He was lapping the circuit when the team came over the radio and told him to turn off the car. He pulled over and got out the car, then wandered around behind the barriers and even momentarily took over for one of the TV camera crew workers. His final time in the session was a 1:13.572, placing him in 11th.
